SINGAPORE — A top public servant is on trial for allegedly molesting two of his female colleagues over the course of about nine months, both at their workplace and on overseas work trips. The 66-year-old began standing trial for nine molestation charges in a district court on Monday (Feb 10). He cannot be named due to a court gag order to protect his alleged victims’ identities, and the name of their workplace was redacted.
According to court documents, he is said to have committed the offences from mid-March to Dec 14 in 2016. He is accused of doing the following to the first woman, aged 43, at their workplace:
Hugging her “very tightly” for about two to three seconds Hugging her “so tightly such that her breasts were pressing against (his) body” on three occasions
four times in one evening Squeezing her buttocks Pressing his private parts against her arm He is also accused of doing the following to the other alleged victim, aged 55: , within few hours Hugging her “so tightly such that her breasts were pressing against (his) body” in Singapore
Caressing her right arm in a circular motion in Manila, the Philippines
Hugging her and kissing her on her shoulder in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Linking his arm with hers, placing his hand on the middle of her thigh, and taking her hand to place it on his own thigh in Yangon, Myanmar The trial was held in-camera on Monday as one of the women took the stand, with the media not allowed to attend. It continues for the rest of the week. The public servant is represented by Mr Gary Low and Mr Terence Tan from Drew & Napier. If convicted of molestation, he could be jailed up to two years, fined, caned, or any combination of the three. Any public servant who is a Singapore citizen or permanent resident is deemed to have committed an offence in Singapore if he does it in the course of his employment overseas.
